This collection was twenty years in the making and comes from dozens of sources.
I've visited 90 percent of these places and most of the modern photos are my own.
I've done my best to source and identify the archival photos, many are widely available across the net.

A "Place" is basically a recognized place name associated with a town, village, district or a physical feature. It was generally identified on common maps of its time, and may now have passed into disuse.
The collection is something I use on a daily basis and many of the images are cropped, sized and edited for my needs. In many cases higher resolution photos, and unretouched photos, are available on the original sites or in my collection.

Often more information is also available from the source - my first mission is to have the photos available for use.
